Chapter 011: Ambush

Characters in this chapter: Alleyne, Manid, Rogge, Wiggins.

————————————————————————————————————————

Five days passed, and scouts continued to report back along the way, and the result of the reconnaissance was that not only in the vicinity of Zenda, but also in Sagoth, there was not even a shadow of a pirate.

However, along the way, they encountered many caravans from various countries, and they all showed happy and surprised faces when they saw the guards of Chanda City go out of the city to suppress the bandits.

Manid breathed a sigh of relief when he heard one of the scouts with scars on his face come back and report that he had not found the enemy.

"It seems that the pirates have been busy hiding when they heard that we were coming to suppress the bandits. Manid's nervous expression finally eased at this moment, and he was even in the mood to joke with Jamila.

As a guide, Mocha went to scout with the other scouts. Yoda and Jager gag, as usual, to find each other's pleasure.

Ryan didn't relax at all, clutching his crossbow tightly, as if a pirate would come out of the grass on the side of the road and scare him with a "wow".

The freelancer Rogge looked absent-minded and didn't pay attention to the report at all, and the scout waved his hand away before he could finish speaking.

Alleyne found that only Wiggins had a serious face, an expression of impending a great enemy. He either looked up at the sky or looked at the grass beneath his feet with great interest. It's just that the more he looks, the tighter his brow locks.

He deliberately sneaked close to Wiggins from behind and patted the other party on the shoulder coldly: "Wiggins, what are you thinking?"

Wiggins subconsciously put his hand on his waist and groped, and in less than a second, he pulled out the sword from his waist.

Then, when he saw Alleyne looking at him with an unhappy face, Wiggins smiled wryly: "Boss, don't do this, it's scary." ”

Alleyne shrugged his shoulders triumphantly, "You haven't answered my question yet, what are you thinking so intrigued?"

Wiggins said in a very serious tone: "We have been walking for so long, and we haven't even seen a shadow of a pirate, don't you think it's a little strange, boss? Even if they heard that we were coming and hiding, there should be traces on the ground, but now there is nothing." ”

Alleyne suddenly felt a tingling in his scalp: "You mean to say that there are ambush soldiers?"

Wiggins nodded, "In my experience, that guy must have set a trap for us to drill." Don't look at the fact that many scouts are coming back now to report that they are okay, in fact, there is a team that has not returned. ”

"Which team?" asked Alleyne without thinking. As soon as the words came out, I felt a little embarrassed, as a commander, I didn't even notice the situation that my subordinates noticed, which was really a bit undeserved.

Isn't Nabar as brave and unscrupulous as I thought?" Alleyne thought to himself.

Wiggins lowered his voice and said nervously: "The team that went to investigate Kwyn Town has not returned, boss, if you don't believe it, you can ask Rogge, he must know it in his heart." ”

Does that mean there's a trap there?

Could it be that Nabal didn't want to kill the cautious people who came to investigate, but that would reveal their whereabouts. But if you don't kill ......

Alleyne figured it out at once, and couldn't help but admire Rogge's ingenuity.

It turned out that he had expected that such an outcome might occur, no matter whether the scouts had detected the enemy or not, as long as they came back, it meant that there was no, and as long as they did not come back, it meant that there must be!

Sure enough, there were two hits. Alleyne said secretly in his heart. He decided to write this down and use it if he fought as a lord in the future.

At this moment, Rogge, who was riding in the front, suddenly turned his horse and walked straight towards Elleon. For the first time, his face showed an expression of imminent adversity, much to Aren's surprise.

Rogge slowly walked up to him and said calmly: "It seems that we may have underestimated Nabar, he is not brave and resourceful at all, but scheming!"

"How come?" Alleyne was taken aback, as if something very bad had happened to him.

Roger blushed and said, "I sent your men to scout if there is any enemy between us and Chanda, but he hasn't come back yet. ”

Alleyne was startled: "What? Didn't you say there were no enemies there? Why did you suddenly pop up now?"

Rogge shook his head slowly: "I don't know, but you are mentally prepared, I'm afraid that the tea will be more auspicious." There has been no news from the town of Kwen now, and according to my suspicion, there should be an enemy there, and the one who is close to the city of Chanda behind us should be the enemy who is blocking our retreat. Looks like we're going to be under siege this time. ”

Alleyne barely managed to squeeze out a smile. "It shouldn't be that bad, haven't we been going well all the time except for these things, maybe they saw something delayed, and not killed as you assumed, is it necessary to be so nervous?"

Rogge smiled: "Of course there is, the voice you just spoke was lowered unconsciously, which means that you don't know the bottom of your own heart, and you are inclined to my statement, right?"

Alleyne held his forehead weakly: "Okay, Rogge, I won't hide it, I admit that the current situation is very worrying to me. Now that we're besieged, it's certain, what are you going to do?"

Rogge said solemnly, "I don't want your soldiers to die with us. If you think you can, I want my soldiers to escort you to make a way, and then you can immediately go back to Chanda and report the situation to Count Arassis, and ask him to help!"

"You're going to let me watch you fight and stand idly by?" said Arenn, annoyed, but his voice remained calm. "What do you think of me? Am I that kind of person? Since I am surrounded, of course we have to fight a way together, so we just fight them directly! Who will escape from the battle at such a time?"

Listening to Alleyne's words, the expression on Rogge's face did not relax. "The battle with the pirates was brutal, they were some of the most vicious Nords, and they were so strong on foot that even my soldiers were not necessarily their opponents. Especially their throwing axes, which can be turned into the most vicious weapons of murder when they get a little closer, and can even break through shields!Perhaps, your soldiers are not suitable for such a battle, especially ......" He stole a glance at Manid and Jamila, who were walking in front, and said no more.

Alleyne burst into a rage for a moment: "What do you mean, Rogge? Do you say that my soldiers are all weak and in need of protection? I tell you, without you I can still annihilate the enemy army! What are the pirates, I will destroy them in the tea room! Wiggins, let's go!" After saying that, he left in the direction of Zenda without looking back.

Wiggins took a few quick steps and grabbed him with some hesitation: "This is not good, there are more than a hundred bounty hunters in our team, at best they can only be regarded as light cavalry, if you really fight with pirates, the losses will definitely be very heavy! Boss, do you want to think about it again?"

"Don't!" Elaine yelled at him as loudly as he shook Yoda and Jager.

Wiggins didn't dare to say anything more, and hurriedly went to give Aren's order, and everyone set off for Zenda.

Ellen said secretly in his heart: "What tea, hold on! I'm here to save you!"

Behind him, the freelancer looked at his back and sighed in a low voice that was imperceptible: "If you don't listen to me, you will suffer sooner or later." Let's give you a glimpse of the real war. ”
